Her hard work, resilience, and patience finally paid off after years of dedicated service.
At which school did P1 teacher teach?
The young lady had been teaching under the Board of Management (BOM) for five years without a permanent position.
Nominated Senator Joyce Korir visited Silibwet Primary School to reward the hardworking teacher.
"A special visit to Silibwet Primary School. Good work, baby girl. God bless the school," Korir captioned her post.
Who gave Bomet teacher TSC letter?
In a video she shared, Korir called the P1 teacher, who approached with humility, ready to receive her gift.
The politician presented her with an official employment letter, a culmination of her years of service to the school.
"After five years of dedicated service under BOM terms, a P1 teacher received the surprise of a lifetime, an official employment letter from Hon. Joyce Korir, Bomet.
"The star landed with a thud right on this deserving teacher's head. Congratulations to the newly permanent teacher, may your tears now be only of joy," read another post.
The teacher hugged the senator as she composed herself after receiving the heartwarming news.
Other teachers and staff members joyfully celebrated her with thunderous applause and bright smiles.
She later posed for a photo with the senator, cherishing the special moment as she received her Teachers Service Commission (TSC) letter.
Kenyans react after Bomet teacher gets TSC letter
Social media users flooded the comment section with mixed reactions to the woman's triumph:
Hillary Koech:
"Congratulations, but truth be told, some teachers have waited more than 10 years and are just as deserving. These politicians should also look for the forgotten lot, those '10 years after graduation', and help them too."
Feline Chepkorir:
"Five years, surely! I have stayed for ten good years. May God's favour locate me. Congratulations to her."
Zachary Cheiyot:
"You have done your best to support your people. Be blessed for your good work on the ground."
Matui Geff:
"I'm clapping 👏 for madam while crying for my many friends who graduated in 2009, 2010, and 2011 and are still looking for jobs."
Kipkemoi Tuei:
"In this country, if your hand can't go beyond your head, just pray to God. Many of my fellow teachers have been in the profession for years, making countless attempts to be employed by the service. But because they lack 'connections,' they're still waiting. May the Lord intervene for all teachers."
Kipkorir Kirui:
"Congratulations, but how are politicians getting recruitment letters? Has TSC delegated its mandate to politicians? This is fertile ground for corruption. Year of graduation and age should be key to employment. Seniority must be respected."
